Elaphurus: eine Tier-Naturbeobachtung im Lebensraum Zoo/Gehege (App ID 681802)

"The Père David's deer, also known as the milu or elaphure, is a species of deer native to the river valleys of China. It grazes mainly on grass and aquatic plants. Today, Père David’s deer exist only in human care. They roam in deer parks, ranches, zoos, and have returned to China to live in reserves. The species is classified as Extinct in the Wild by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN). The Bronx Zoo has maintained a herd of Père David Deer since 1946 , has produced 175+ offspring over the years. The species is bred at the Bronx Zoo as part of the Species Survival Program (SSP), a cooperative breeding program designed to enhance the genetic viability of animal populations in zoos and aquariums accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA)." sagt Chris Slattery im Habitat Zoo/Gehege am 13.09.2022.
